Lin Bai is now the prince, and the people's will.
People from all over the Southwest want to join the Southwest.
Qinzhou is no exception.
Tian Jiye really couldn't see the possibility that the Qinzhou prefect could stop it, but the Qinzhou prefect was hiding it deeply, so he still gave a warning.
The most important thing is of course showing loyalty.
"Thank you, Chief Tian!"
Lin Bai smiled.
Feng Yida turned out to be a former subordinate of Prince Ning, which was somewhat unexpected.
I thought that the other party was following Zhu Tong's orders, but now it seems that it is not just that, but also the Longhu Shipyard. No wonder these people dare to build warships for Lianhua Island.
That's right, King Ning has been guarding the southwest for decades, and it is not so easy to eradicate.
The southwest area was okay, with many chieftains, and the imperial court had already cleared it. On the contrary, the southwest area was ignored by the higher authorities.
In fact, Lin Bai really had no interest in paying attention to Ning Wang Zhu Kang.
This is already the case, and we can’t afford to make any more waves.
He had no interest in making the other party uncomfortable unless necessary, but Qinzhou was different. It was the southwest estuary and must be captured.
So, I can only apologize!
…
Qinzhou.
Feng Yida has been restless since Guiling came back.
Ordinarily, with the current development of the southwest, it would be best to include Qinzhou in the southwest, and the people would dream of it.
But, this is obviously not the case for him.
Because once Qinzhou is included in the southwest, many things will be out of his control. At least some things can no longer be obtained, such as Tianzhu hemp and other things.
Another point was that he didn't know why Lin Bai wanted to capture Qinzhou.
He and Zhu Tong had the same idea as to what an international trade center was. There were only pirates overseas, not a country. In his opinion, the international trade center was simply a cover. The other party's entry into the southwest must have other purposes.
But, what is the purpose?
Qinzhou is located on the coast and does not have the prosperity of Jiangnan. On the contrary, it is extremely poor. He really cannot see the other party's intentions.
Could it be that the other party also wants to use Southwest to traffic Tianzhu hemp?
He thought to himself.
At this time, an attendant came in and said, "Sir, there is news!"
Feng Yida quickly asked: "How?"
In the past few days, he had been speculating on Lin Bai's intentions and asked the people below to inquire.
"My lord, the specific intention is not clear yet, but there is news that His Highness the Fourth Prince has sent someone to pass the news to Ping'an County and transferred Ping'an County Magistrate Qi Renjie to Qinzhou."
"What?"
Feng Yida's expression changed instantly.
Ping'an County is the first new city from Lichao and has attracted much attention.
Ping'an County Magistrate Qi Renjie was naturally noticed by many officials early on, and they all knew that his relationship with the great scholar was because he wore the same pants.
Now the great scholar has transferred him to Qinzhou. What does this mean?
The most important point is that as the prefect of Qinzhou, I know nothing about it. His Highness the Fourth Highness has not mentioned this matter. If Qi Renjie is transferred to serve under him, he will definitely inform him.
But no.
So does this mean that the other party was transferred here, probably not under him.
But he is the prefect of Qinzhou and the largest official in Qinzhou.
If you are not under his command, then... you can only replace him.
Thinking of this possibility, Feng Yida's face became more beautiful.
The attendant next to me also had a gloomy face, "My lord, it seems that Your Highness does not trust you. After Qinzhou is included in the southwest, I am afraid that you will be transferred."
Is it really just a transfer?
The other party beheaded Jiang Hailiu, and the previous Tianzhu Hemp channel was suddenly blocked.
Could it be that Qinzhou has been aware of it and is preparing to settle accounts in the future?
There is also the eldest prince. Although Feng Yida is not very clear about Enke, the eldest prince is willing to spend millions of money to compensate students from all over the country. This is obviously wrong.
Could it be that the eldest prince has already fallen into the hands of the other party, so...
Think of this possibility.
Feng Yida's face was as white as paper.
Zhu Tong is a prince, and if he bleeds, the higher-ups may not pursue him. However, he is not a prince, he is just an ordinary official among countless officials who have left the court. Once the other party takes advantage of him, he will definitely die.
Now the other party has even transferred Qi Renjie, obviously to replace him.
Feng Yida suddenly panicked.
"Immediately send a message to the eldest prince on my behalf."
It is necessary to confirm whether the other party has really taken advantage of him.
He followed the order and left quickly.
The next day the news came, "Sir, the eldest prince has replied, saying that he will no longer care about the affairs in the southwest. His duty is to guard Nanyi Pass."
There is nothing wrong with what you say, this is the other party's responsibility.
However, to Feng Yida's ears, that was not the case at all.
Does that mean that everything in Qinzhou has been exposed? So how could he, the prefect of Qinzhou, still have good things to eat?
"hateful!"
Feng Yida's teeth chattered and his face turned pale.
But anger can't solve the problem at all. The top priority is to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise...
However, facing the rising talent, he was helpless for a moment, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
night.
There was a middle-aged man in Feng Yida's study.
It was Pang Song, the chief officer of Longhu Shipyard.
The two of them had worked together under Prince Ning in their early years and had been close friends for many years. Now that they were both in Qinzhou, their relationship was naturally extraordinary.
"Brother Feng, what happened? Find Pang in a hurry."
Pang Song didn't take it seriously at first. After learning what happened, his face became a little ugly and he said, "That's not it! Could it be that Brother Feng is overthinking it?"
Feng Yida said anxiously: "Brother Pang, the eldest prince has given up, how can he think too much about it?"
"His Fourth Highness must be eyeing Qinzhou and you and me."
Although Pang Song was a little suspicious, he knew that Feng Yida had no need to lie to him. The two of them were like grasshoppers on the same rope. Moreover, once the things they did were exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Feng Yida said: "Isn't this coming to discuss with you?"
Pang Song paused, "Where is the eldest prince? Did he really let Lin Qingfeng control Qinzhou?"
Feng Yida said anxiously: "If this were not the case, why should I be so anxious? Guiling Enke, he paid a large amount of money in compensation and has probably reached a settlement with Lin Qingfeng."
"He is a prince. He can reconcile and blame everything on us, but we can't."
Hearing this, Pang Song's face became gloomy.
Obviously a little anxious, he said: "If this is the case, what should we do? Lin Qingfeng is now the fourth prince and the special envoy to the Southwest..."
Although their official positions are not small, they are obviously not high enough in front of great talents.
Moreover, Qinzhou was merged into the Southwest, which the people wanted.
There's absolutely no way to stop it.
Feng Yida didn't understand why. He was so anxious that he suddenly brightened up and said, "We can't do anything. Maybe the prince can do something."
